As mentioned earlier, a Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fell, and thousands of them stood up.

Among them, the most courageous is Xiang Yu's army, and the most reluctant is Liu Bang.

Xiang Yu is just all the way to the end, ten battles and ten leftovers! And Liu Bang took a long detour and sneaked along the way. With Xiang Yu attracting Qin soldiers on the bright side, Liu Bang's actions are incomparably tailwind.

Of course, this tailwind is based on the premise that Li Yi is familiar with the existence of ignorance. Now that Li Yi is serious, the result naturally has to change.

Compared with Xiang Yu, Li Yi hates Liu Bang even more.

Xiang Yu is a big husband, and Liu Bang is a real villain.

Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are dead, the fire against the Qin Dynasty that they ignited is burning everywhere. In the south, Huiji County is even more powerful.

It was Xiang Liang and his nephew Xiang Yu who raised troops in Huiji County. Xiang Liang was the son of Xiang Yan, a general of the Chu State. When the state of Chu was destroyed by Wang Qian, the general of the state of Song, Xiang Yan committed suicide in defeat. Xiang Liang wanted to restore the state of Chu. His nephew Xiang Yu was burly and smart, and Xiang Liang personally taught him to read and write. But Xiang Yu had only studied for a few days, and he didn't want to continue learning. Xiang Liang taught him to learn swords again, and Xiang Yu learned for a while and threw it down.

Xiang Liang was very angry, but Xiang Yu said nonchalantly: "What's the use of reading and writing, but remember your own name; If you learn the sword well, you can only fight against a few people, which is not a big deal. If you want to learn, you must learn the ability to fight big battles. ”

Xiang Liang listened to his tone a lot, so he took out the ancestral military book and taught it to him. Xiang Yu understood it as soon as he heard it, but he understood the general idea slightly, and he refused to go deeper. Xiang Liang was originally a subordinate minister, but because he had a grudge with someone, he avoided coming to Wuzhong in Huiji County.

When the young people in Wuzhong saw that he was able to write and martial arts, they admired him very much and regarded him as a big brother. Xiang Liang also taught them to learn the art of war and practice their skills.

This time, when they heard about Chen Sheng's uprising, they thought it was a good opportunity, so they killed the Huiji County Guard and occupied Huiji County. In less than a few days, a team of eight thousand people was raised. Because most of the people in this team are local youths, they are called "children's soldiers".

Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu crossed the river with 8,000 soldiers, and soon captured Guangling, and then crossed the Huai River and continued to march. Along the way, rebel teams from various places came to Xiang Liang and united with them.

In the second year, a team of more than 100 people, led by Liu Bang, came to Xiang Liang.

Liu Bang was originally a native of Pei County, and under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, he served as a pavilion chief. He also relied on the pavilion chief to accumulate the righteousness of his army!

Once, his boss asked him to escort a group of people to Lishan to do hard labor. They hurried day by day, and every day there were always a few people who deserted and fled, and Liu Bang couldn't control it. But if it goes on like this, it will not be easy to get to Lishan.

One day, he sat on the ground resting with the people. He said to everyone: "When you go to Lishan to do hard labor, you will either die of exhaustion or be beaten to death; Even if you don't die, you don't know what year or month you will be able to return to your hometown. I'll let you go now, and you'll find your own way out!"

The people wept with gratitude and said, "What should you do?"

Liu Bang said: "I can't go back anyway, I can flee wherever I go."

At that time, there were more than a dozen people who were willing to follow him to find a way to live. Liu Bang and more than a dozen people fled to Mangdang Mountain and hid. After a few days, more than a hundred people gathered.

Xiao He, the clerk of Peixian County, and Cao Shen, the prison official, knew that Liu Bang was a good man, and they sympathized with him very much, and secretly corresponded with them.

rushed to Chen Sheng to defeat Chen County, Xiao He and the people in Pei County killed the county officials, sent people to Mangdang Mountain to pick up Liu Bang, and asked him to be the leader of Pei County. Everyone called him Pei Gong.

After Liu Bang raised troops in Pei County, he recruited two or three thousand people and captured his hometown Fengxiang.

Then he led a part of his team to attack other county seats, but unexpectedly, his subordinates who remained in Fengxiang rebelled. Liu Bang got the news and wanted to go back to attack Fengxiang, but his troops were insufficient, so he had to borrow troops elsewhere.

When he arrived in Liucheng, he happened to meet Zhang Liang, who had escaped from Li Yi, and Zhang Liang also took more than 100 people to defect to the rebel army.

The two met together and talked very well. After discussing it, they felt that among the nearby rebel teams, only Xiang Liang was the most powerful, and decided to defect to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang saw that Liu Bang was also a talent, so he allocated it to him to help him recover Fengxiang. Since then, Liu Bang and Zhang Liang have become Xiang Liang's subordinates.

After Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and other major leaders of the uprising died in the hands of Li Yi, because the leadership of the uprisings in various places fell into the hands of the nobles of the old six countries, they fought for territory with each other and fell apart. The generals of the Qin State, Zhang Han and Li You, wanted to take the opportunity to break the rebel army one by one.

At this critical juncture, Xiang Liang held a meeting in Xuecheng and resolved to put the rebel army in order. In order to expand the call, Xiang Liang listened to the advice of the strategist Fan Zeng, and found the grandson of King Huai of Chu, who was living among the people, and made him the king of Chu. Because the people of Chu have always been unhappy with King Chu Huai who was deceived and died in Qin State. In order to increase his appeal, everyone still calls his grandson King Chu Huai.

The new King of Chu Huai, although he was a cattle herding baby before. But the butt decided the head, and after being complimented by Xiang Yu and other rebels as the leader of the uprising, he felt that Xiang Yu was purely treating him as a puppet.

King Chu Huai naturally wanted to get rid of Xiang Yu's control, and the only way was to use foreign manpower, such as Liu Bang. has always been known as the king of benevolence and righteousness, and has never sat on the slaughter of the city like Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu's massacre, although he won victory on the frontal battlefield, also made him gradually turn away from the people. Many of the people he slaughtered were immigrants from the Six Kingdoms, not simply Qin.

"Compared to Xiang Yu, a brainless person, I would rather kill Liu Bang first!"

Li Yi ignored the dissuasion of his ministers, took Nangong Yan as the vanguard, and led a large army to set up an ambush in the place where Liu Bang marched.

Along the way, Liu Bang hardly fought. Everywhere we passed, it was a "peaceful" liberation. First of all, with the help of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, he chose a favorable route, and secondly, he listened to the advice of his subordinates, spread benevolence and righteousness, and tried not to disturb the people when attacking the counties along the way, abolished the brutal laws of the Qin State, and treated the officials and soldiers who surrendered when they were captured, so that the people and some officials who had suffered enough from the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty had a good impression of him.

This made Liu Bang a little farther than Xiang Yu. But he barely wasted any effort, and he could reach Xianyang first.

Strategically, Liu Bang's plan is fine. It's just that along the way, as the rebel army continues to converge, there is a shortage of food.
